A short encyclopedia entry on linen, a cloth made chiefly of hemp and flax. It briefly covers spinning flax yarn by hand, recommending a mucilage in place of saliva or water to wet the threads, then weaving on the loom much like wool and bleaching. It refers readers to other articles in the encyclopedia for details on fiber processing, cloth and bleaching.
